Hi,

I have just spent a few hours trying different ways of making a stick
USING LINUX (not windows) without success (unetbootin multi system etc).

I am running Fedora 24 and just want to put UBCD on a stick, I did even
try a windoze version with wine but it would not pick up the usb drive
so gave up. I had problems a few years ago with this but though it
would be simple now - I was wrong! or am I.

ATM I am trying the one I got to work last time:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
Downloaded and extracted OK but got this error:
[peter@localhost ~]$ sh install-depot-multisystem.sh
install-depot-multisystem.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `>'
install-depot-multisystem.sh: line 2: `exec >& >(tee -a
/tmp/debog-install-depot-multisystem.txt)'
[peter@localhost ~]$

This is the culprit!:

#Sous Kde en boot livecd Activer depôt universe et installer zenity
if [ "$(sudo -A cat grep '^%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' /etc/sudoers
2>/dev/null)" ]; then
echo
if [ "$(which software-properties-kde)" ]; then
sudo software-properties-kde --enable-component universe
if [ ! "$(which zenity)" ]; then
xterm -title 'Install zenity' -e "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get
install -q -y zenity"
fi
fi

Can I only use this with KDE?

What is the easiest way to make a stick!?

Regards
